Crazy Horse, who was a great warrior of the Oglala Sioux, was born on Rapid Creek in the Dakota Territory in 1842. He died in 1877 after being stabbed by a bayonet while struggling with Indian police. Why did he want to peacefully surrender?.
In the battle at Little Big Horn, a battalion of soldiers under Custer was wiped out by the Sioux. Crazy Horse and the Oglalas had been able to avoid roundup by the Bluecoats. Because of General Sherman's scorched earth plan, Sioux and Cheyennes were killed in masses by 1877 after twenty years of war with the United States.
The Sioux were called Dakotas, Lakotas and Nakotas. This name meant ' friends or allies'.
So who was this Crazy Horse?.
